PROCESS liOR EMULSIFYING RESIN SOAP IN WATER.

Application filed April 9, 1913. Serial N 0. 759,825.

To all whom 2'25 may concern:

Be it known that I, \VILLIAM J. DOLAN, of Rhinelander, in the county of -(-)neida and State-- oflVisconsin', have invented certain new and useful Improvement/s in Processes for Emulsifying Resin Soap in lVater; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the reference numerals marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

The purpose of my present invention is to provide a new, improved and efficient process for emulsifying resin soap in water.

The object of the present invention is to provide a simple and economical process whereby resin soap with a high percentage of free resin can be readily emulsified with hot water without any steam. I accomplish this by emulsifying and mixing it 'With hot water under pressure.

A further object of this invention is to utilize the pressure of the hot water to draw the resin soap thereinto and still further to use the pressure of the hot water and the resin soap carried therein to further emulsify, mix and agitate the material.

The drawing shows mostly in side eleya-' tion but withsome parts in section an ap-' paratus that may be used in my process.

Referring more particularly to the drawing the resin soap is heated in a tank '3 as by steam coils 4 connected to steam pipe 5. From the tank 3 the heated resin soap is conducted through outlet pipe 6 to the mingling or first mixing chamber-7 which is preferably in the form of an ejector or similar means whereby the hot water entering from pipe 8 under pressure operates to draw into the mingling chamber 7 the resin soap without back pressure against the soap in pipe 6. Within the. mingling or first mixing chamber 7 the heated resin soap is partly atomized and mixed and emulsified by the hot water under pressure therein but that is a secondary purpose as I find it. is

-much better not to rely upon the injector 7 for the main emulsifying process but simply as a convenient and ready means of introducing the resin soap into the hot water by means of the pressure of the water. From this mingling chamber 7 the mixturepasses by pipe 9 to the second andthe pressure of the mixture of hot water and soap from pipe 9 after the manner of a turbine. vThe turbine-like members 11 substantially fill the chamber 10 and the relative size of these parts andtheir arrangement therein is such that under the high pressure of the mixture from pipe 9 the members 11 are rotated very rapidly with the result that the water and soap are very thoroughly mixed, atomized and emulsified 1n the chamber 10. From the chamber 10 the mixture is conducted through pipe 12 and eJected into the receptacle 13 which further perfects the emulsifying process. The pressure may be imparted to the water n pipe 8 by any suitable means such for instance as a pump 14 receiving hot water through pipe 15 from any convenient source (not shown).

I find that the emulsifying process is not only possible without steam but that the elimination of steam improves the process and produces a better product Without danger of being burned or otherwise injured. By mixing the resin soap with the hot water under pressure and then giving this mixture a thorough agitation the process is completely performed with very few steps and with simple apparatus. The producing of this agitation by means of the same pressure which is necessaryfor the emulsifying process results not only in economy of power and apparatus but improves and simplifies the process and makes it more reliable and automatic in that the one pressure determines the flow of resin soap, the degree of pressure in the mixture and the extent of agitation.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

-1. The process of emulsifying resin soap in water, consisting in heating resin soap, introducing it into hot Water under pressure bymeans of such water pressure, and emulsifying and atomizing it under said pressure by agitation of said mixture.

2. The process of emulsifying resin soap in water, consisting in heating resin soap, introducing it into hot Water under pressure by means of such water pressure, and

emulsifying and atomizing it under said pressure by agitation of said mixture in proportion to such pressure.

3. The process of emulsifying resin soap in Water, consisting in heating resin soap,

introducing it into hot Water under pressure by means of such Water pressure, and emulsifying and atomizing it under said pressure by agitation of said mixture caused by said pressure.

4:. The process of emulsifying resin soap in water, consisting in heating resin soap,

introducing it into hot water under pressure by means of such Water pressure, and emulsifying and atomizing it under said pressure by agitation of said mixture by means operated by said pressure.

In witness whereof I have aifixed my signature, in the presence of two witnesses, this 21st day of March 1913.

I WILLIAM J. DOLAN.
